Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee says she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
[FoxNews] Jackson Lee previously battled breast cancer in 2011

U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, announced Sunday night that she is being treated for pancreatic cancer, but assured her constituents that she will soon be back at full strength.

Jackson Lee, 74, has been representing Texas' 18th congressional district for 30 years.

The congresswoman said she will "likely be occasionally absent from Congress" as she undergoes treatment, but emphasized that her office will continue to deliver the constituent services they "deserve and expect."
* A human pancreas transplant is incompatible. Perhaps a Rodent?
Jackson Lee previously battled breast cancer, having been diagnosed in 2011 before announcing the following year she was cancer free.

The Democrat served as a judge before she was elected to an at-large Houston City Council seat in 1989.

"Please keep me and my family in your prayers as you have always done. Know that you will remain in mine," she concluded. "As always, God bless you and God bless the United States of America."

#2 ...I'm no fan of the Lady, but pancreatic cancer is a remarkably unpleasant way to die.

And she ain't coming back, not at 74. Genuine prayers for her comfort.

#5 My heart has grown quite hard and unforgiving over time. But as difficult as it is, I must agree with Mike. I pray for her comfort and ease in passing.

#8 Killed my Dad. Wouldn't wish it even on her. But M. Murcek is right - replacement will be worse.

#9 No mention of what stage of cancer. Will assume Stage Four since these turds don't leave until they're circling the bowl.
